Controllers / Arduino Night

By on October 5, 2016

Controllers / Arduino Night is going to long term end up as an Internet Of Things (IoT) direction in the course.   The course is going to expand upon the basic Arduino type hardware controller into a more system approach to handle many devices and many interface of which one Arduino is not suited.

Arduino Night Reboot – 31 July (7-10 PM)

By on July 29, 2015

Join Unallocated Space on Friday July 31st starting at 7:00pm for the hatching of our third reboot of Arduino Night. Come out and learn how to care for and nurture this precious bundle of microcontroller and help it grow to take over the world! :The Plan: 7:00 – 9:00 What is “Arduino”? What is with […]

Arduino Night (17 July, 7-10 PM)

By on July 14, 2015

This will be my last class for a while. But don’t fret, someone else has graciously volunteered to pick the class up! I’m sure it’ll be nice to have someone new 😀 Anywho, this class will focus on 4 wire resistive touch screens. These are attached to LCD screens from Garmin GPS units. Python will […]

Arduino Night (19 June, 7-10 PM)

By on June 17, 2015

Continuing the trend of motor control and transistors, we will be driving unipolar steppers motors. The motors will be provided since having varying stepper motors can be troublesome. It is suggested to bring a full sized bread board since this will take up a little bit of room! Agenda: What is a stepper motor Uses […]

Arduino Night (15 May, 7-10 PM)

By on May 14, 2015

Last time we covered basic transistors. Just turning an LED on and off and driving a DC motor. This time we will look at creating an H bridge to drive a DC motor forwards and backwards. We will also be going a little more in depth about transistors. Feel free to bring your own DC […]

Arduino Night (31 Apr, 7-10 PM)

By on April 30, 2015

I am super late getting to the slides for this class O.O The basic plan is to play with transistors to control LEDs and DC motors. If we get through everything, then the next class will hopefully cover H bridges for reversing DC motors. The agenda is short since the class could go way over […]
